Tapeworms are one of the most common internal parasites pet owners can actually see. They are
repugnant and absorb vital nutrients that your dog needs. Dogs get tapeworms by ingesting infected
fleas or by eating infected rabbits or small rodents. Tapeworms are seen in dogs of all ages.
Signs of Tapeworm Infection
Visible segments on feces, haircoat, or on bedding (appear as small white worms that may look like grains of rice or seeds)
Scooting (dog rubs bottom along floor)
Protect your dog with once a month IVERHART MAX® (ivermectin/pyrantel pamoate/praziquantel) Chewable Tablets - the heartworm
medicine that controls more intestinal parasites.
